Seizure causes toxicity

Common Questions and Answers about Seizure causes toxicity

seizure

Avatar n tn It prevents the electrical spread of a focus of irritable tissue from entering normal tissue. Its toxicity depends on the route of administration, duration, exposure and dosage. The route of administration is the most important determinant of toxicity. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn I developed seizures suddenly at age 42 in 1991. Dx: complex partial seizure due to left temporal lobe injury (car accident in 1966). I didn't stabilize on Dilantin until Diamox was added. I was perimenopausal at the time. Last fall I had two gynecological surgeries, including a complete hysterectomy. 1/2009 I was diagnosed as severely Vitamin D deficient (D2 was <4 and D3 was 8) and put on massive dose (50,000 units per week for 8 weeks.

Avatar f tn Could it be mold esposure? Could it be liver toxicity?
Avatar n tn Were they taking the large doses of vitamin B6 supplement to help with relief of PMS, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, asthma, or heart disease which research has showed vitamin B6 does not have any significant effect on the named above. Vitamin B6 toxicity causes temporary neurological symptoms, which, according to the literature, usually take up to 6 months for it to resolve itself for majority of people. There are some people who do have permanent damage.
Avatar f tn Hi,I have a question about this medication used for seizures and other things,,,,,,,,,,i amon 250 mg depakote er at night for mood control and gaba diffency i misssed my dose last night and wonder if i might have a seizure i have no seizure disorder and have never had a seizure but someone told me that if u miss a dose u might have aseixure i have been on this med for only 8 days,,,,,i have very bad anxiety and some depression and it seems like this medications takes away all my emotions any
Avatar f tn Estrogen reportedly increases your need for B6, which seems counterintuitive, since I had more B6 toxicity with higher levels of estrogen. Perhaps estrogen causes B6 to store more readily in the muscle? I have no idea, but there IS an effect, somehow. Also, during my B6 toxicity recovery, things were always much worse before my period. Again, that makes very little sense to me, since that is supposedly a low estrogen time.
Avatar m tn Vitamin B6 is found naturally in our foods, however, B6 supplements are the main reason for toxicity of vitamin B6. Long term (2+ years) supplementation of 500-5,000mg/day will result in medical issues, such as neuropathy which maybe reversible with discontinuing the supplement and lowering high B6 foods. The recommended daily dose is 1.3mg for men & women ages 19-50 and 1.7 for men >50 years old.
Avatar n tn The medication is very beneficial, but I am worried about long term damage and was wondering if adderall causes or can cause glutamate toxicity within the motor cells. I know muscle twitching is usually benign, but I am concerned about the effects adderall has on motor neuron activity possible MND. I know this is kind of an off the wall question, but I would really appreciate any input you or your colleagues have on this issue and if I should continue taking adderall?
Avatar f tn Partner had a stroke april 21 but only this last 6mths she has had 1/2 episodes where she has gone to laugh and had one i would describe as a seizure - she stares and goes red as though struggling to breath then 10ish secs later she is absolutely fine- anyone else had similar
374225 tn?1269899262 Hope I can find one that will not make me sick. A warning to anyone who takes more then 1 or meds for pain. I ended up with seizure and coma in Nov. last year. I was lucky my DH found me on the floor in time. I had stopped breathing. All the meds I was taking as doctor ordered, put me in this state. They are very dangerious!!! I will never take more then 1 long acting and 1 short acting as needed. Weaning off take time, you can not rush it and it must be done with your doctors help.
Avatar f tn Ever since my Neurologist started taking me off my anti seizure meds, I've started getting these brain spasms, I guess you could call them that anyways. They only happen on days I'm not on my meds. For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school.
Avatar n tn Many people experience a once off seizure (I think it's something like 1% of the population) Were you doing anything at the time that could have triggered it? The only thing you can do at the moment is wait for the EEG results and that will determine where you will go from here.

Avatar m tn Don't worry, you're confusing lead in things like paint and other environmental pollutants, with the supplement. Constipation and other digestive problem are very common with taking supplemental iron. Taking too much for a long period of time is also associated with increased risk of heart disease, especially in men. As for your underlying concern, being a vegetarian should make it easier for you to get iron, not harder.
Avatar f tn i had a grandmal seizure within 2 weeks of taking the generics. my neuro said the generic dident have every thing the name brand has. i cant take generics only name brand. my level was so low on the generics . i honestly believe the generics are useless. i do take 400mg dilantin every nite before bedtime and have for about 5yrs.
Avatar m tn If GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter, how does diazepam can cause anti-depress? I heard that it can treat seizure? Seizure is a disease that is over-stimulation, repetitive, uncontrolled neuronal firing in CNS. May I know how does it treat seizure? Thanks.
535882 tn?1396576685 Vitamin D may decrease from certain medications such as certain anti-seizure, corticosteroids, heparin, certain antibiotics, mineral oil, and antacids; or certain disease states such as celiac disease, Crohn’s disease and Whipple’s disease. You should not go over in supplementation. 2000 IU is the tolerable upper intake level for adults; supplementation over that may cause a risk for toxicity (weak muscles, weak bones, excessive bleeding, and kidney stones).
724811 tn?1291430786 Back when I was a kid in the early 1980's my older sister stole a tube of mercury from her high school science lab. It was a pretty good amount, not the small amount in a thermometer. I thought it was fascinating and we played with it for hour, rolling in around in our hands and watching it break apart and come together again. We did this for a few weeks or even months I would say.
Avatar f tn I thought I was going to come out of my skin! The back of my neck was on fire! I think I had a a seizure because my lips wouldn't stop quivering. My heart was racing and I was having double audio. My jaw was Clenched tight. D I was afraid if I went to sleep I'd die.. This was Monday afternoon evening. I went to work fine yesterday expecting the worse. I had no focus at all. Just didn't want to work. When I got home I started having small halutinatioms.
Avatar m tn I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
Avatar f tn These involuntary jerking can be myoclonic jerks which can occur in head, neck, shoulders, arms, legs and torso. These can occur alone or in combination with seizure types or epileptic syndromes, absence epilepsy, myoclonic epilepsy, etc. Myoclonus is brief involuntary twitching of a muscle or a group of muscles. It is a medical sign suggestive of underlying nervus system disorders like multiple sclerosis, parkinson’s disease, alzheimer’s disease, serotonin toxicity, some forms of epilepsy.
Avatar f tn Stress causes seizures and different things I even get stressed out.
Avatar f tn Those symptoms also fall under, mercury toxicity, aspartame toxicity, chemical sensitivity, and sensitivity to electro magnetic fields just think these should be mentioned as well
2030686 tn?1351688548 I started having seizures last february (2011). I don't have epilepsy, as far as they can tell I have toxic encephalopathy. Which means toxins were building up in my brain from the combo of meds I was on. My reg dr said "serotonin syndrome" is another possible dx. The definition of a "controlled" seizure disorder is no seizures for 6 months. I've been going more than 6 mos between seizures.
458594 tn?1206301123 This would involve bloodwork to check for metabolic, endocrine and infectious causes and other blood tests such as a Lyme,or Ehrlichia check. His heart would also need an evaluation, since syncope can appear as a seizure. Other causes of seizures are abnormalities in the brain either from trauma, or a lesion in the brain.
